Ways To Share Your Pride at Disney World Resort This June
June is Pride Month and since we are approaching our first weekend we thought it only fitting that we shared with you some of the ways that Disney World is celebrating this month.
Art and Photography
When visiting all four Disney World theme parks this month be sure to stop and have your Disney PhotoPass photo take by one of the awesome photographers. This month you’ll have the opportunity to capture special photo memories from Magic shots to a nighttime rainbow bokeh frame. There’s also digital stickers and fun graphics.
In addition you can also set up a Capture Your Moment Photo Session where you can choose from a rainbow Mickey or rainbow umbrella prop. You can even share your pride from home with Disney’s mobile phone wallpapers and virtual backgrounds which will be available through June.
Moving over to Disney Springs you’ll find murals that celebrate Pride Month on the West End near the food trucks. These make the perfect selfie spots. There’s also a brand-new photo wall for Love, Victor which is a new Hulu Original Series that follows Victor on his journey of self-discovery. Season 2 is making its big debut on June 11th.
